Ashl33n Are Gettin' Hitched, Y'All!!

Congratulations are in order for Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz who have just announced on Pete's official website Friends or Enemies that the couple have gotten engaged! Ashl33n are makin' it official and will be walking down the aisle together very soon. Here is the full text of their announcement:

THIS JUST IN FROM ASHLEE SIMPSON

"We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best. Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us."

In Touch can exclusively reveal that Ashlee Simpson is engaged to boyfriend Pete Wentz! "He got down on one knee and she said yes," a family friend tells In Touch. The couple went away to Colorado just days ago where Pete's brother had an art exhibit, and that is where Pete, 28, popped the question to Ashlee, 23. "She has an amazing ring, and they are so in love," adds the friend. And Ashlee's parents, Joe and Tina, not only approve but are thrilled! The couple that started dating in October 2006, have not set a date for the wedding just yet. Congrats Pete and Ashlee!

A rep for Simpson tells Us, "Yes, they are happily engaged." Earlier today, the singer told Us, "I'm really happy!" One possible cause for the quickie engagement - a pregnancy, to which her rep had no comment and referred Us to friendsorenemies.com, where [the couple posted their official announcement].

There is really NO BASIS for the pregnancy rumor but you know someone had to throw it out there. In any regard, much love and congrats goes out to Ashlee and Pete on their happy news. Here's hoping they have a long and happy marriage together. [Source]

"Pink is the new Blog: Must Star Hazer -- Why This: Trent Vanegas may run the uproarious gossip roundup from his home outside Detroit, but he doesn't need proximity to make riotous observations about celebs -- often typed directly onto scary paparazzi photos." -- Entertainment Weekly

"Anyone looking for a case study in the convergence of homespun blog culture and market-driven mainstream media need look no further than pinkisthenewblog.com and its creator, Trent Vanegas ... It's Not Just a Blog, It's a Brand" -- The New York Times

"Finest use of Photoshop: Nothing escapes the keen eyes of Pink is the New Blog, which concerns itself with all types of celebrity lambasting, sartorial style included. Arrows point to flashes of errant celebrity panty; the blog's trademark pink stencil lettering announces "CHER COMES TO TOWN" over photos of a raven-haired Lindsay Lohan." -- The Village Voice

"[Pink is the new Blog] offers a hysterical, no-frills treasure trove of photos (enhanced like a football commentator, with arrows and play-by-play markings), gossip and a sweet bank of links directed to stories all over the Web. [The posts are] more like delicious dispatches each day. Vanegas is a concise writer but offers plenty of description to keep things interesting." -- The St. Petersburg Times

"The site has just blown up and a Pink mushroom cloud is expected to replace the smog above Hollywood any day now ... Now everyone who's anyone knows that pink is the new blog." -- URB magazine

"If you don't like having a chuckle at celebrity misfortunes or enjoy a good gossip about Britney's latest blunder, then you might want to refrain from visiting this site. This is our sort of gossip - the piss-taking, ass-shaking stuff that'll keep you coming back for more. A mix of scandal and send-up, hearsay and gossip, rumour and fact." -- NZgirl
